"Deathly Hallows" Trailer Is Epic Like The KFC Double-Down

The teaser (albeit full-length-sized) trailer for the conclusion to the Harry Potter series is chock-full of action and drama found within the two upcoming movies, like the bacon and sauce combo found within the two delicious chicken breasts of KFC's new sandwich... sorry, I haven't had dinner yet. Video after the jump:

The honest-to-goodness trailer comes on the heels of the clip shown during the MTV Movie Awards that aired earlier this month, and it shows quite a bit more than the previous taste. Most of it shouldn't come as a particular shock to those who have read the final chapter of the series (i.e. everybody), but it certainly looks incredibly cool. Ralph Fiennes reprises his role as the creepily handsy Voldemort (seriously, someone call Chris Hansen), and all three of the main cast members look like they're giving it their all for the characters they've literally grown into. Surprisingly absent (or unsurprisingly, given her stale delivery in The Half-Blood Prince) is Bonnie Wright's Ginny Weasley, who is only briefly shown giving a big ole' smooch to Mr. Potter.

The only bugaboo I have is the two-movie choice: I get it, what with wanting to make heaps and heaps of money and all, but the first half of the book is essentially Harry, Ron, and Hermione taking a hormone-heavy camping trip for three months. Sure, it sounds fun now, but once they get through the fourth scene about who used up the last of the DEET, well, I might be visiting the concession stand.
